Too early to tell 100%, but sales could lead for a hypothesis that could be right. Between the ZDX and the XTour, I would take the ZDX in a heart beat. Fact is, it's one of the better looking Acuras out right now. I suspect that its limited usability, out there styling and high price are working against it.Being a former Honda employee, I would like nothing better than every Honda to be a sales flop, but hey, that's just me.

It is a flop. It is a fashion statement with little practical use. Acura doesn't have the brand cache to sell fashion vehicles to idiots like BMW can the X6.

That and it is very overpriced for what you get. There is a reason why the RL isn't moving off dealer lots too. Acura is affordable luxury not just a straight luxury name plate (hence everything they sell has to have value). Acura is closer to Buick these days than it is to BMW in the luxury scale (and if they keep this up, Buick will overtake them). Underpowered in the segment and there is little value there in both cars (something Acura used to be known for). Honestly I have never ever looked at Acura as nothing more than a premium name plate. They can't sell anything at 50+ (even the NSX was not a huge sales success and I'm not talking about TL numbers). Plus they are ugly as sin.

Name one person that said and walked into an Acura dealer that have just said "I want that car and I don't care how much the car costs". Wait, I can only point to less than 160 last month.

Honda needs to realize that people like vehicles that can actually do things. The ZDX and Crosstour arent' fast, can't hall people around comfortably, and can't carry anything in the odd shaped box they call a cargo area.
